The Mask

Make me better.
I can't fail if I'm oppressed.
I don't know the difference.
The world's pleasures.
I won't break my life arrest.
Only you are making sense.
And they're sorry...

I will wear the mask on my own.
And I will live. Beneath this home,
Nothing stands.
With you, there isn't hope.
But I will wear the mask
On my own.

Slap my wrists.
Yes, it's shameful to detest.
I won't lose your interest.
If I desist,
Lock me up until my death.
I believe you're truly best.
Patriot citizens making all the plans.
Replace them 'cos they're not pretty.

(chorus)
